Westlake TX COMMUNITY HISTORY

Westlake, originally known as Cane Island, is on Interstate Highway 10 and U.S. Highway 90 at the intersection of Harris, Waller, and Fort Bend counties, twenty-five miles west of downtown Houston. The name Westlake may have been taken from the name Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad. Westlake had one-room schools circling the area. In 1919 the Westlake Independent School District was formed; it registered 17,000 students in 1989.

The discovery well of the Westlake gas field was drilled in 1934. The Humble plant (Exxon) was put into operation in 1943 with Joseph E. Clayton as superintendent. This plant, which extracted liquid hydrocarbons from gas, reached a peak production in January 1945 of 13,000 barrels a day. During World War II the size of the reserves and the proximity of Houston-area refineries combined to make Westlake the most important gas-condensate field in the country. Development of the gas field resulted in a doubling of the population in Westlake. From 1925 to 1942 it was reported at 400. It rose to 800 in 1943. The city of Westlake was incorporated in 1945 with C. L. Baird as the first mayor and Arthur O. Miller and H. E. Romack as councilmen. After the 1940s the town continued to grow steadily. It reached a high of 9,866 inhabitants in 1988 before declining to 8,005 in 1990. By 2000 the population had increased to 11,775.
